I don't think the Spinecor should be causing this problem. Maybe it is too tight.

Have you tried contacting the inventor of the Spinecor - Dr. Rivard in Montreal? He responds to...

Yoga might be helpful. There are special yoga exercises for scoliosos.

Esme saw the orthopaedic doctor today. There has been no change in her curves over the past six months. She has not had any other treatment during the last six months - like the Structural...

My husband and I think there is a connection between our daughter's scoliosis, her very serious case of chicken pox with cellulitis and her subsequent serious case of PANDAS (Paediatric AutoImmune...

Cheergrl:

Please talk to your parents about this right away. This must be very upsetting for you. I really hope your parents will try to help you work this out at school with the teachers and...

Kyle:

At 17 you are most likely skeletally mature. Has the doctor looked at your x-rays to tell you if you are or not?

From what I have read though if your curves are under 40 degrees when you...

Kyle:

Your age is important. If you are not skeletally mature then bracing should be an option. As an active volleyball player you might want to check out the Spinecor brace.

Joe:

I thank you for your post today. I have been finding it increasingly difficult to post onto this forum recently since certain individuals are determined to tell me how to think, they are...

Katelyn:

You might be able to hook up with some children your age at the SpineKids website. It is at: http://www.spinekids.com/boards/

There is lots of written on-line chatting going on...

Sharon:

You are mis-understanding me. You are correct about one thing -- I have an absolute fear of (and distaste) for spinal fusion surgery for my dear daughter. It is the thing we want least...

How can anyone be so sure that surgery is the right thing to do? It is somewhat offensive to suggest that a person should not investigate all possible treatments for scoliosis. Just because it is...

As far as I know none of us are doctors. The article is written by doctors therefore one might be wise to read the information they are providing with an open mind...only fools rush in...

This is one article you might find interesting.

Sharon:

The VBS was not experimental when I brought an article on it to the doctor at the Children's Hospital here in Ottawa less than 3 years ago. He told me that this was only done on...

Hi Lexi's Mom:

Our daughter wore the Spinecor brace but her curves were too advanced so it didn't work for her. I think it would be a really good idea if you talked to Dr. Rivard (the inventor of...

Del:

I have been wondering how Elysia was doing. I am sorry to read she will need another surgery. I sense a lot of pain behind your humourous post.

On the one hand it is reassuring the...

Good luck with the MRI. Hope it doesn't show anything too serious.

Carebear:

Our daughter Esme wore the Spinecor brace with large curves. Dr. Rivard did not want her to since he did not think it would work but we asked if we could give it a try and he...

Del:

I am so sorry to read about Elysia. She has already been through so much and so bravely too. It makes me very sad to read that this has happened to her.

Very disappointing -- I did not hear back from the doctor in England (or his office) about the Davies Dominoes. I will try to telephone there next week.

Ruth

Seeing this news clip and reading the short article has left me with more questions than answers too. I would like to find out more about it though.

I found Mr. Davies website: ...

My sister in Wales sent me this link to a news article on a treatment being done by Dr. Evan Davies in Southampton, England. There is an article and a video.......

Thank you for the link to the article.

If you don't want to use the pesticide treatment try Tea Tree Oil Shampoo. It works great and can be found in health food stores.

My daughter wore two Charleston braces. They did not stop her curves but to be honest she never got used to wearing them so it didn't really have a chance to work.

If I were you I'd check out the...
